Waiting for an Answer

As I walk along the road

Lonely and cold

I peer eagerly in the darkness

Looking for answer

That lies in the icy night

The tears begin to arrive

I wish them away 

To no avail

My emotions take over

I begin to run from them

In hopes that they will fall behind me

They follow

Allowing the tears to cascade from my eyes

Enabling the return of fear

The night grows colder as I sit

Waiting for the tears to subside

Only God must know my sorrows

The overwhelming burden of pain

It swallows what is left

Of my delicate soul

The turmoil that resides

Within my heart

That never seems to go
